It was the penalty pit...

I too was excited to see American Gladiators back on the air, but for some reason this new version isn't nearly as good as the old one.  It did seem to be a bit too "overproduced" and the personalities of the Gladiators just isn't what it used to be.  Back in the old days, Nitro, Gemini, Laser, Turbo, Thunder, etc. all had this look of "I'm going to kill you right now", but then they'd snap out of it and become normal human beings.  Yet you could still kind of see some roid-rage inside of them. 

The Gladiators in the new show just seem like they're trying to hard and overacting SEVERELY.  None of them appeared to be real people.  They all seemed like overacting oafs.

The contestants also seemed as if they were pulled out of a random hat.  Granted, the Eliminator did appear to be a bit harder, but these people couldn't even come close to making it through.  Also, the old show had the Eliminator as a completely separate event.  This version seemed to just throw random stuff into the arena and make you run around like a chicken with your head cut off.  It looked as if they were doing everything in a closet and just forced you to run around the set with a few extra things put in for the Eliminator.

The show was okay, but I still get more enjoyment out of watching the original show on ESPN Classic.

After watching that video, it is obvious that the new elimator is WAY harder than the original. And the people they had on last night were not cupcakes. Well, the karate lady with big boobs didn't have a chance - but the other three were in great shape.

I felt bad for the Marine that swam headfirst into the iron bar.  She pretty much effed her chances to win on that move alone.
